Moths

I borrowed a Moth trap and did my first proper trapping a couple of nights ago. Lots of new species to add to the list. It would have been a lot more but having potted up loads of micromoths I released them all as I realised that I wasn't going to have enough pots or enough identification time to deal with the number of moths in and around the trap. I needed id help for most of the larger moths in any case which I got in the early afternoon (thanks Steph). I'll highlight a few of the new species in separate blogs and start here with the magnificent Poplar Hawkmoth.
